Infinity Details - LaunchBox Games Database

Overview

An ancient, nameless evil stirs beneath the earth, twisting the land and its people alike with its corrupting force. Two rival nations careen toward war, as a shadowy figure arms them both with unholy weapons of immense power. And a disgraced knight is called upon to overcome the centuries-old pain that divides these peoples, his own grief, and malevolent forces fanning the flames of hate. This epic tale frames a roleplaying game with a unique tactical battle system, a detailed world with over 50 explorable areas and more than 100 items, and beautiful 8-bit graphics — all to immerse you into the world of Infinity! Originally developed by Affinix Software from 1999 to 2001 towards the end of the Game Boy Color’s retail lifespan and originally slated to be published by Crave Entertainment, the shift in the market towards the Game Boy Advance (released in 2001) resulted in publishing struggles for the game. As a result, the original Affinix team went their separate ways, leaving Infinity a what-if that was formally canceled in 2002. Yet, 15 years later, following repeated interest in what was seen as one of the last Game Boy Color games, an unfinished version of Infinity which consists of roughly the first quarter of the game was released as a free preview ROM on August 13th, 2016. For the 20th anniversary of Infinity, Incube8 Games began a Kickstarter campaign and assembled a team consisting of both Affinix originals and fresh faces to finally complete Infinity and give it the physical cartridge release for the Game Boy Color that it always deserved! The Kickstarter campaign met all of its funding goals in 2021 with a projected release date for the full game in September 2022. As of November 2024, Incube8 has not announced a release date for the full game, however they have released a partial demo to some backers to help with testing.
